Dopamine transporter (DaT) SPECT can confirm dopaminergic deficiency in Parkinson's disease (PD) but remains costly and inaccessible. We investigated whether brief smartphone-based motor assessments could predict DaT scan results as a scalable alternative. Data from Oxford and Genoa cohorts included individuals with iRBD, PD, and controls. Machine learning models trained on smartphone-derived features classified DaT scan status and predicted striatal binding ratios, compared with MDS-UPDRS-III benchmarks. Among 100 DaT scans, the smartphone-only XGBoost model achieved AUC = 0.80, improving to 0.82 when combined with MDS-UPDRS-III (AUC's gender-corrected). A simpler logistic regression model performed better with MDS-UPDRS-III alone (AUC = 0.83) versus smartphone features, with slightly higher performance when combined (AUC = 0.85). Regression models predicted binding ratios with modest error (RMSE = 0.49, R² = 0.56). Gait, tremor, and dexterity features were most predictive. These findings support smartphone-based assessments complementing clinical evaluations, though larger independent validation remains essential.
